I believe there is a setting (or combination of settings) in Visual Studio that allow you to see in the Immediate Window (or Output Window, I can't remember which), the timestamp and name of an assembly as it is loaded while debugging. I used to have this switched on as it is very useful for finding performance issue areas. Sadly however, when VS recently decided to undock all my windows for no good reason, I had to reset my VS settings and have now lost this.
I can't find for the life of me which setting it was that I had switched on.
Any help appreciated.

In Visual Studio, open Tools > Options > Debugging > Symbols (or Debug > Options > Symbols).
In Visual Studio it is easy to view the assembly code and step through it with the debugger. Just place a breakpoint in the C++ code and run the program in Debug mode. When the debugger stops at the breakpoint switch to the assembly mode by choosing Debug → Windows → Disassembly.
In Solution Explorer, right-click the project and choose Properties. In the side pane, choose Build (or Compile in Visual Basic). In the Configuration list at the top, choose Debug or Release. Select the Advanced button (or the Advanced Compile Options button in Visual Basic).
Begin code stepping by selecting F10 or F11. Doing so allows you to quickly find the entry point of your app. You can then continue to press step commands to navigate through the code. Run to a specific location or function, for example, by setting a breakpoint and starting your app.
Apart from reading Debug output messages in Output window, you can also use Modules Window (at least in Visual Studio 2013) which gives you a nice searchable list of loaded modules with various additional details:
Debug -> Windows -> Modules

In the Output window, change the "Show output from" combo to Debug if necessary. Right-click the window and tick "Module load messages". And any others you might want to see.
